Indiana Law Allows Imprisonment for Debt in Indiana
The Indianapolis News critiques Section 22 of article 1 of the Indiana constitution and a state law that can imprison a debtor for debt. Judge Livingston Howland lamented the practice after a habeas corpus petition was denied. John C. Purdy remains jailed for nearly two weeks, with freedom seen as possible only if he surrenders concealed property or the creditor tires of payment. An attorney calls for erasing the law as unjust, noting rare usage in recent years.

Requisitions for School Books Spread Across Townships
County Sept George F Felts reports township trustees have sent in requisitions for new school books under the state law. Trustees named include Harper Jefferson Howey Cedar Creek Clapsattle Lake Rose Scipio Baker Monroe Shaffer Milan Covington Aboite Keyser Rose St. Joseph Franke Madison Daugherty Washington Roy Perry Dalman New Haven Habacher Adams and others. Felts notes statewide orders are expected to be small due to the attorney general’s interpretation that trustees must certify child book needs to the county superintendent. The Indianapolis board model is followed, ordering enough books to cover those who must buy anew, with others to be supplied later.
